Favourite Surah!!
This post might sound weird, but i was talking to a new "revert" to the islamic faith, and he was asking me: what is your favourite surah in the quran?
I with wide open eyes did not have an answer! so i tried to break away from the answer and said confidently : you cannot love one surah only, you have to love the whole book!
Thinking i was clever in my answer he said: duh, i know you have to love the entire book, but i mean personally, you gotta have a certain desire to read a specific surah, dont you?
I thought about it and i said : i actually donno which one is my fav.!
I asked him back and he said "mariam"
I thought : really, yeah it is actually a wonderful story of how Zakaria finds her with food in her room, i always was amazed by "jesus's" story anyway.
Went home, opened the holy quran, tried to read the index to see which surah do i actually like, and it hit me:
It is surat YOUSEF ; i love that surah, because i think i like his AMAZING story, i enjoy reading it over and over again, it is just awesome and i never get bored of it. of how he became the king of egypt and refused betraying his master, i love reading it cos it is exciting to read..
whoever knows arabic, would know how superb is the phrasing of that surah!!

What do you mean by revert?
me too! sorat Yousif :)
every time I read it its like the first time ... great story n_n
Me too ... Yousif is my favorite ...
I feel that huge amount of joy filling my heart after reading it ... It makes me feel happy :)
A whole surah about one story ...
Revert-ing: is returning to something, We usually call them converts, but they refuse it cos they understand from what they were taught that evey person in this life is born as a muslim and then the child's parents change him/her into a different religion.
Ra-1 and True Faith: Exactly here, i feel the same, it is wonderful :)
Shopaholic: al rahman was compulsory to memorise in my 7th grade, so i love it too :)
Same here! Surat Yousef is my favourite Sura - it's full of amazing twists :D
i love alanfal
aud luqman givesme patince with all the fitna arround
here are two ayat that i just love from luqman
وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ
يَا بُنَيَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الأمور
i love many suras
you really have to read the whole quran one should read a few pages every day
all the Quran is great but we need to read it
وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا
one of the 9a7aba (i think was a 9a7abi) use to say that i have 7aya2 not to read every day from the Book of Allah
favorite ayahs many but my fav surah has to be SURAH FATIHA. It has its own depth and its a prayer which is very close to my heart.
am still confused, is he a muslim who lost his way and is now back, or is he of another faith and is now muslim?
Surah Fatiha.. definitely..
ShoSho: Lol @ twists, so true
Q8ibloger: dont you worry about me :) I am in the mosque every week as i mentioned in your blog :)
PURG: Was christian, became muslim this year :)
Raheel, and Shaima: Surat al fatiha is always a saver in exams and fear LOL!!! its amazing..
:) Suarh Mariam n Surah Yousef are both very beautiful. i dont know Arabic good so i miss that phasing part.though can read it well. but still cant understand:(
